It may have dumped a foot of snow this past weekend in our little corner of Seattle...but I was not entirely prepared. No soups going on the stove or anything, just ALL the sandwiches. Not exactly snow weather food but whatevs. Specifically, this vegetarian kale pesto artichoke caprese sandwich.
I'm going to be honest with you: this sandwich came about because I legit got tired of moving around the artichoke hearts jar and the sun-dried tomatoes jar in the refrigerator. I don't even know why we had them, but turns out that was a blessing in disguise! Dan is a BIG fan of artichoke hearts...and I love pesto and cheese.
Ergo, kale pesto artichoke caprese sandwich.
Another little secret tidbit: the sun-dried tomatoes were originally added for extra yums but also for one extra splash of color. Win win!
Super important addition? Pesto. I actually used kale pesto for this sandwich for even more secret veggies!
OH and by the by, this puppy is vegetarian 🙌🏻.
